No local branches or accounts are confirmed affected in Martin, St. Lucie or Indian River counties, but residents should check any Marine Bank holdings directly.
ELGA Credit Union has completed its acquisition of Marine Bank, according to a report published by the Hastings Tribune. The sale price, number of branches involved, deposit totals, affected account holders, and effective date of the merger remain unverifiable, as the full source article is behind a paid subscription wall.
It is unclear whether Marine Bank operated any locations in Martin, St. Lucie, or Indian River counties, or whether any Treasure Coast residents hold accounts that would be subject to the change in ownership.
Credit union acquisitions of banks typically result in the conversion of bank accounts to credit union membership accounts. This process can affect interest rates, fee structures, and FDIC versus NCUA deposit insurance coverage. However, none of those specifics have been confirmed for this transaction.
Treasure Coast residents with Marine Bank accounts should contact their branch directly for information on how the acquisition affects their deposits, loans, or automatic payments.
The TC Sentinel will update this report when full details of the transaction become publicly available.
